strait line winds.....

July 6th, 2009, 09:38 PM

recently over hear in iowa the was sever strait line winds that took alot of limbs/trees down on our little disc golf corse. in order to graduate at my hing school we have to have a cirtint amout of volenteer hours so i spent upwords of 7 hours clearing branch/trees out form the corse in preperation for the torny the next morning. karma paid off!!! i shot one of my best torny rounds to date! on the first round i shot a 1 up and on the second round only 2 up. compared to last years 7 and 8 up i would say thats perty good. ( i got 5th or 6th out of 35 people)

Its nice to see that you played so well after doing work at a course. I am not trying to be a dick here, nor am I always the greatest at spelling, but does your H.S require English classes in order to graduate? Or, do you just have to volunteer a certain amount of work hours to graduate? I counted 16 spelling errors and 6 times not using Caps.

Ok maybe I was being a dick somewhat? Its just that I graduated right below honor roll, and I didnt even have to try. It seems the education system is lacking more and more these days. You are not the only H.S. student I have seen type this bad.

No I would not say you were being a dick, it was just constructive critsiam, and I am aware i just spelled that word wrong. But spelling/punctuation is my biggest weak spot. I have always been a A/B/B- student and that is enough to get on our honor roll. Is this one a little better?

I honestly wasnt trying to be a dick, its just sad to see the education system that way. I know different areas have different requirements for graduating. I just know I never would have graduated spelling like that.

On a good note. I am glad that you helped out at a course and the Karma helped you in your tourney round. Good for you!!!!

Thank you. It hit eastern Iowa hard. As for the First Class Challenge I will most likely not attend. I live 2 hours away form Des Moines and I'm only 15 so driving there is out of the question. Maybe next year when I can drive....

Dude, you're lucky you're not in my class; I mean I don't care too much about spelling, but I couldn't even guess at a few of your interpretations. And dude, since the third grade you've obviously had a collage reading level, in that you seem to throw in bits of anything to spell words like college. I am glad to see your work ethic though, now turn it on your spelling before you get to COLLEGE, it will reduce the snickering.

It does Adam, and those who try to argue otherwise are only showing their lack of connection to anything beyond their own perception. ME, ME, ME, I spell fine for ME, it's you with the problem; this is a high school SOP. Although this Iowa kid does have some work ethic, which sets him apart from many other teens who do little for themselves, let alone someone they do not know, like their community. Great job Iowa, put some of that work towards yourself.

Well done, sir. You seem to have a positive attitude and willingness to improve that sets you apart from many of your peers already. That should serve you well. Not only in disc golf, but in the rest of life, too. (<---- root beer, naturally)
